Around the NBA - All Star Weekend and beyond

Jaylen Brown is super underrated

He is but I find his shot too erratic.

Like when he lets it fly I have no idea whether it is going to be too strong or be an air ball or go in. Some shooters you have an idea it is going in once they release the ball.

Just not enough defense in that Dame - CJ - Melo trio

For sure. It's why they were better with Harkless and Aminu even though they were both kinda ass.

Nurk beasting well beyond expectations since his return though, could give the trio a fighting chance

Nurkic looks great. KP does well with rest.

Non tired KP is just something else, Bol Bol levels

refs are calling too many fouls in the bubble. they need to adjust.

Wow Harden with 4 fouls already with over 3 mins left in the second quarter.

I feel you. His shot improved massively this year though so most of the time I feel like it’s going in

I think they have a shot to make the finals. Championship? Nah

Rare off game for Ayton. Oh well. He destroyed the Mavs last time

The problem with the Celtics is that they cannot put their five best players - Tatum, Kemba, Smart, Brown, Hayward - on the floor at the same time.

They should see what they can get for Hayward but he is practically like a son to Brad Stevens.

I think Celtics have a shot to win it though if they get lucky. First round is problematic as they are slated to face the Sixers whom they struggle against. But if they manage to either get past them or end up paired with the Pacers they have a good chance.

In my view the Heat can upset the Bucks. If it ends up being Boston and Miami in the ECF it is going to be an epic chess match between Brad and Spo.

If Celtics end up having to face the Clippers in the Finals Tatum usually shows up versus Kawhi.

Imo their ceiling depends on Tatum. Last 2 months he averaged 30 PPG. If he keeps it up, then I got Boston in the finals. Idk if he’ll keep it up though. I guess we’ll see. If Tatum doesn’t keep up his hot streak then I honestly have no favorite for the finals. Can make a case for anyone imo.

Luka is great, but the refs are just gifting him calls

That’s the thing with guys like him and Harden. As great as they are offensively, they get a bunch of terrible calls gifted to them which is why some people hate them.

Basically Celtics play the Heat and Raptors well while they struggle against the Bucks and Sixers.

They will have a hard time against the Lakers given their lack of size but will have a fighting chance against the Clippers.
